I am a shell.
When I am without words.
I create them.
I read them.
I speak them.
I hear them.
They define my feeling.
They sort out confusions.
They let me give gifts of love.
Share moments of humor.
Comfort.
I fumble and stumble with them.
I paint pretty pictures with them.
I put light on my fears with them.
And when I have no words-
I am shocked.

You give due credit to words, and nicely done it was. 😉

‘shocked’ – it’s really a shocking word, isn’t it. And especially so at the end of your piece, like a punctuation mark at the end.
Great post, Colleen. I almost wanted an ‘after’ sketch as I saw in the before it’s a shell to be filled. I imagined the after a colour of expression, various.
